SuperQ

Analytical XRF software package

SuperQ is an advanced and comprehensive software package that permits beginners through to experienced users to take full advantage of the Zetium spectrometer. Built on a platform with more than 20 years of experience, SuperQ is the key to operating the Zetium and best of all, it is simple to use, expandable and supports most international languages.

Regardless of your industry SuperQ is the gateway to high-quality data.

SuperQ software is straightforward and makes the Zetium spectrometer accessible to administrators and routine operators with a minimum of training time. The software incorporates 20 years of experience and has been translated into many languages. It generates analysis programs optimized for the elements to be measured. These resulting programs can then be ported to other instruments to enable standardization of analytical methods within a company.

Intelligent software

SuperQ incorporates more than 20 years of collective global WDXRF analytical experience. Designed for analysts and technicians alike, simple method development is achieved by an intuitive user interface. Simply select the elements of interest and a step-by-step program will develop optimal analytical conditions. Full analytical flexibility is retained providing development control for process optimization. An example is the choice between fixed or variable times or desired precision. Additional features such as programmable wake-up and sleep settings are included as well as drift correction before operators begin measurement.

Flexible measurement procedures

SuperQ provides a comprehensive measurement strategy which is operated in a user-friendly and intuitive visual sample changer map. Manual measurements are made simply by placing samples in to the spectrometer measuring chamber, entering an ID and choosing a method. Alternatively the sample changer can be engaged by selecting an application, locating a sample on the sample changer, entering an identification and automatic measurement will begin. This entire process can be automated by the addition of a barcode reader (an optional item available for Zetium). SuperQ includes a simple script language for easy integration of barcodes and LIMS communication pathways. Sample identities can be imported through batch files in LIMS environments and operators can then simply place samples on the instrument sample changer.

Enhanced flexibility and convenience

Designed for operational flexibility and convenience SuperQ includes many additional features that benefit the most demanding industry applications. These include continuous sample additions to the measurement queue without measurement interruption, a Quick Start menu for easy measurement by all and Priority Position analysis for rush sample measurement without interrupting a batch process.

Advanced analytical requirements

The analytical heart of SuperQ includes state-of-the-art proven spectra interpretation, data treatment and matrix correction algorithms. Once a method has been created the routine operation is straightforward and intuitive. Visual menus permit routine operation by all. SuperQ provides a flexible and logical reporting format and is ready for automation. Furthermore, SuperQ can seamlessly deliver results to all LIMS formats and optimal efficiency can be achieved by the simple addition of a barcode reader.

Although the software contains all features needed to obtain accurate results, it can also be augmented to meet advanced analytical requirements while keeping the usability for routine operators simple. Designed for the most stringent analytical protocols, SuperQ includes a wealth of expandable optional modules.
